One might provide habitat, which most likely would be the chance to burrow in humus-rich soil and mulch. However, one might provide a toad house. It might range from a broken flower pot to a fancy, from-the-store "toad house." Make sure there's a good supply of water handy, especially in drought conditions. This might be any flat container on the ground. I suspect toads enjoy my on-the-ground bird bath even more than the birds! :-)

Your house decor is toadally delightful, Shady:) Love the quote on the pillow. I'm always happy to welcome toads to my garden, too, and we usually have quite a few every summer. The grandkids get a big kick out of looking for them--one year I think we had 10 babies in one nesting spot. The only thing about them I don't like is that they tend to hide in pots and when I start planting containers, they like to jump out and startle me:)
